No mandate but Ron told those that WANT to wear can continue.
99.8% survival rate for this virus.
Those that pass the condition of their health is piss poor. FACT.
vax'd or not you can be infected.

Vax'd or not you can infect others.

Being vac'd doesn't doesn't mean you won't get it again.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
Yup. All true. But what is the survival rate of people over 55? It is a FACT that it is significantly less than 99%.
It is also a FACT that those not vaccinated are making up a huge proportion of people in the hospital after contracting the delta variant and those dying as well. It's quite obvious that the redumblican governors don't care if you get sick and die.Comment

CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
Fla. case count highest ever
One out of five infections, hospitalizations and COVID deaths in the U.S. this week happened here.

More Floridians are contracting COVID-19 and filling hospital beds than at any point since the pandemic started 17 months ago.
The state recorded 134,506 cases between July 30 and Aug. 5, according to data released Friday by the Florida Department of Health.
That’s an average of more than 19,000 cases every day — the highest infection rate in a single week since the start of the pandemic. Adjusted for population, only Louisiana had a higher infection rate last week.
Florida hospitalizations also reached their highest point in the pandemic this week, with over 12,864 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the hospital as of Friday, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
As hospitals fill up, the rate of admissions hasn’t slowed. In the past seven days, an average of nearly 1,800 confirmed COVID-19 patients were admitted to state hospitals every day.
Florida recorded 616 deaths in the past week, over 60 percent of which were seniors over 65.
The Sunshine State now has one out of every five infections, hospitalizations and deaths in the U.S. as the contagious delta variant runs rampant.
Meanwhile half of the state’s total population remained unvaccinated. And the delta variant will have more opportunities to spread when school resumes this coming week while kids 11 and under still can’t get vaccinated.
University of South Florida epidemiologist Jason Salemi said Florida’s latest infection and hospitalization numbers are both shocking but also predictable given how infectious the delta variant has proved, and that the state largely reopened for business despite having 11 million unvaccinated residents.
“It’s disappointing to see us here especially when we have such a great supply of vaccines and a
good degree of control over how bad the pandemic is,” he said. “The writing has been on the wall for the past two months.”Comment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
Earlier this week, the Friends actress said she had "lost a few people from [her] weekly routine" who had decided against having a Covid jab.
Some of her Instagram followers have since asked why she was so worried, given that she had been vaccinated.
"Because if you have the variant, you are still able to give it to me," she posted on Thursday.

"I may get slightly sick but I will not be admitted to a hospital and or die.
"But I can give it to someone else who does not have the vaccine and whose health is compromised (or has a previous existing condition) - and therefore I would put their lives at risk."Comment
